About this listen

 Ashwatthama is the son of Guru Drona and a major character in The Mahabharata. In the epic, he serves as a friend to Duryodhana. He was trained in warfare along with the Kauravas and the Pandavas by his father, Drona. He fought on the side of the Kauravas against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War and was cursed by Krishna with immortality for his attempt to kill Uttara’s unborn child. Ashwatthama had gained knowledge of various divine weapons, namely the Narayanastra, Brahmastra, Brahmashirastra, and many others.©2025 ©2025 T.V. TODAY NETWORK LIMITED (P) 2025 T.V.
